Summary

What if the story of humanity was also the story of male love, desire, and brotherhood—articulated through every era, culture, and continent?
 
“World History of Male Homosexuality: 10,000 BCE to the 21st Century” invites readers on a sweeping journey across time, exploring how men have loved, bonded, and desired each other throughout the ages. From prehistoric double burials and spiritual rituals to the clandestine societies of Victorian England and the global Pride movements of today, this book uncovers the hidden and celebrated facets of male-male relationships in every corner of the world.
 
Frank descriptions of intimate moments are woven alongside cultural analysis, showing both the everyday realities and extraordinary stories— such as the legendary devotion of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, the erotic poetry of Persian courts, the sexual practices in Roman baths, and the displaced camaraderie of soldiers during the two world wars—this book shines a light on both the joy and peril of male-male intimacy. With vivid case studies, each chapter uncovers how desire, affection, and sexuality shaped societies, challenged norms, and left a legacy still felt today.

    Why can't we talk about antisemitism? 
     
     
     
    As claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging, and bad-faith accusations. 
     
     
     
    There is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarizing headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, Off-White offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time. Taking in the contingency of whiteness, Judeo-Christian mythmaking, pro-Israel antisemitism, and the Palestinian struggle against colonialism, Rachel Shabi lights a hopeful way forward.

    Why did Pope Francis canonize a priest responsible for the genocide of the Indians?
    Why does he wish to beatify the anti-Semitic French priest, Leon Dehon?  
    What are the unmentionable reasons for his papal election? 
    Pope Francis is presented as progressive and sensitive to the interests of the people, but underneath his smiles and his good words hides an authoritarian and dogmatic pope. This pope relies on very conservative movements such as Communion and Liberation or the Order of the Knights of Columbus, which are close to Opus Dei. 
    The good Pope Francis is beginning to drop his mask when he declares that Europe is undergoing a new Arab invasion (sic), when he calls on "Catholics with a sense of identity" to take to the streets, when he fights against republican secularism and demonizes atheists.
    After an overview of the financial, political and sexual scandals, Paul Ariès proceeds to a very detailed and documented analysis of the "Church of Francis," particularly in the areas of ecology and sexuality. This clear book offers a surprising insight into the best communicator the Church has known in a long time.

    An MDLG and ABDL themed love story for the age play fetishist. 
    Please note: This book contains content only appropriate for individuals interested in the MDLG subgroup of BDSM. It includes kink related themes, psychological power-play both sexual and non-sexual, sub training in diaper wetting, punishment by bondage, spankings, butt plug, and genital teasing. 
    The story is a work of fiction, and although based on multiple personal experiences, Tina Moore does not assume to speak for the entire community. She also believes that the kink is as broad and diverse as the consenting adults who engage in it, and thus there is not a ‘correct’ way to be a consenting adult involved in age play and/or regression. 
    Tina Moore would like to thank all her loyal, supportive, and loving fans. She wishes you every happiness and success and hopes that you stay safe, calm, and healthy. 
    Leila knew that life could be better, but she had no idea it could be this good!
